Paolo da San Lorenzo - Still Life

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

Paolo da San Lorenzo's compositions are based on a search for pure lines and pure colors. Reality is assimilated by the artist and reconstructed through a geometric rationalization that reduces everything to the bare minimum of sensibility. While the color rests on a dense, painterly matrix, Paolo da San Lorenzo's lines are slender and elegant, charged with expressive movement. There is a playfulness, a sense of the fairytale that, in some ways, brings Paolo da San Lorenzo's geometry closer to that of Paul Klee, especially in his vibrant use of color.

Paolo da San Lorenzo was born in San Lorenzo in Campo in 1935. His artistic training took place primarily in Paris, where he was introduced to post-Cubism. He began exhibiting his works in a series of shows not only in Italy but also throughout Europe. In 1990, his work was included in the Mondadori catalogue. He participated in numerous international art fairs from 1999 to 2014, including Miart Milan, Arte Fiera Bologna, Arte Verona, the Australian Contemporary Art Fair Melbourne, St'Art Stasbourg, and KunstRai Amsterdam.
